In the quiet of the forest, a moment to realign yourself.
The warmth of the firewood slowly spreads to the center of your body,
and as you step out of the tent, the forest’s clear air gently wraps around you.
Warmth and coolness, light and shadow.
Each time you surrender yourself to the rhythm of nature,
a deep sense of calm returns to your heart.

Amid the swaying birch trees and the sound of wind passing through,
you’ll find a gentle wellness experience that simply helps you “reset.”
At the tent sauna nestled close to the land of SONEKA,
enjoy a moment to reclaim your deepest breath.
